Ex-dividend capture scenario
Enter dividend per share, expected ex-date drop, shares, effective tax rate and costs.
A share price typically adjusts around the ex-date because the near-term dividend entitlement separates from the share. The realised drop also reflects market returns, investor tax clientele, dividend size and timing. Dividend capture compares after-tax cash received with the price move; it is not free income. This estimates one user-defined holding window, not a market-specific ex-date regularity.
No share-price or ex-date history, shareholder tax clientele, withholding tax or market-return data are loaded.
